Introduction Bariatric surgery is increasingly employed to address the global burden of morbid obesity, with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) representing the predominant procedure. However, some patients, particularly those with extreme obesity (BMI >50 kg/m²), may experience unsatisfactory weight-related outcomes following RYGB. While biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) offers superior weight reduction for this population, its complexity and associated risks limit its widespread use.

Breastfeeding represents a strong selective factor for shaping the infant gut microbiota. Besides providing nutritional requirements for the infant, human milk is a key source of oligosaccharides, human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), and diverse microbes in early life. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of human milk microbiota and oligosaccharides on the composition of infant faecal microbiota at one, three, and nine months postpartum.

Background: 2'-Fucosyllactose (2'-FL) is a predominant human milk oligosaccharide that significantly enhances infant nutrition and immune health. This study addresses the need for a safe and economical production of 2'-FL by employing Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) microbial strain, Priestia megaterium ATCC 14581. This strain was chosen for its robust growth and established safety profile and attributing suitable for industrial-scale production.

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) have been positively associated with child neurodevelopment in some cohort studies. However, there is a lack of consistency in the association between HMOs and benefits to infants' brains. Moreover, the quantification methods for HMOs have not yet been standardized.

Background: Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) and other milk-derived metabolites are crucial for infant health, influencing gut microbiota and overall development.
Objective: This study aimed to uncover insights into the variations of HMOs and non-HMO metabolites based on secretor (Se) status, lactation time, mode of delivery, and infant sex.
Methods: An exploratory cross-sectional study was designed to compare the concentrations of HMOs and non-HMOs metabolites in milk samples from 129 lactating Chinese women within 1 y postpartum.
